Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the showdown between the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk stands out as a prime candidate for the Under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 22.5. Despite his recent scoring average of 17.6 points, Monk's away performances have been telling-he's only mustered around 10.8 points per game on the road. When facing the Hornets, his historical numbers dip even further, with an average of just 11.6 points against them. Adding to the narrative, Monk's last four away games have all hit the Under, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. With an average of 1.4 rebounds and 3 assists away from home, it's clear that he's been more of a supporting player than a main scorer. The cumulative data suggests this total feels a touch too high, making the Under a savvy play in this matchup.

As we dive into Tuesday's matchup between the Sacramento Kings and the Charlotte Hornets, Malik Monk's scoring line of 14.5 feels just a touch too high. Sure, his recent average shows a solid 17.6 points, but take a closer look at his away performance. Monk's averaging only 10.8 points on the road lately, well below our mark. Plus, against the Hornets, he's been held to just 11.6 points per game in their last five meetings, and even lower at 13.5 when playing in Charlotte.Not to mention, Monk has hit the Under in four straight away games, a trend that suggests he struggles to find his rhythm outside of home comforts. With an expected stat value around 11.36 and a hit rate of 70% for the Under in his last ten, it seems prudent to take a chance on Monk not crossing that 14.5 threshold tonight.

As LaMelo Ball steps onto the court at home against the Sacramento Kings, there's a compelling case to target him for under 3.5 made threes. While his recent form shows he's averaged 4.8 threes in his last five games, the matchup tells a different story. Historically, he's struggled to find his rhythm against the Kings, averaging only 3.2 threes in their recent encounters, and shockingly, he hasn't even registered a single three at home against them in their last matchup. The Kings' defensive strategy may force him into tougher shots, particularly with the heightened intensity expected in this game. Plus, with a home hit rate of 60% over the last 15 games, there's reason to believe he'll have some off nights, especially when facing a formidable opponent. All signs point towards a quieter night from beyond the arc for LaMelo, making the under a savvy play.
